We have been ordering pet supplies from Chewy for years and never had an issue on those rare (maybe once a year) occasions when something arrived damaged. We would send them pics and they would send a replacement. Just how it should be, right? Today our shipment arrived with a crushed box of cat food pouches.

Some Googling seems to reveal that it’s perfectly OK to drive a vehicle in the US with foreign plates on it, so long as the registration is current, all of the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed insurance-wise, yada yada yada.

P.S. I was told that “the difference between a boat and a ship is that you can carry a boat on a ship.” (18+ years US Navy Reserve)
Factual Questions. ralph124c September 3, 2004, 10:35am 1. I was reading about the battles of WWII, and recall that there were very few engagements between battleships. And, at extreme ranges (>16,000 yards) it seems that it was very difficult to hit moving targets. This is not surprising, because a gun shell is essentially an unguided missile ...
My 17-year-old asked me, and I didn’t know, so I’ll ask you guys: in the Everlast song What It’s Like, one line is: I’ve stroked daddy’s dimes at least a couple of times before I broke their hearts.
Basically, Internet porn has eaten the magazines for lunch. Playboy has a few hundred thousand subscribers, down from millions in its heyday decades ago.
